Grand Avenue,
San Francisco,
California, U .S .A.
Looks down from Chinatown
over a foggy bay.
You travel there in a trolley,
in a trolley, up you climb.
Dong dong, you're in Hong Kong,
having yourself a time.
You can eat if you are in the mood
Shopping suit, bean cake fish
The girl who serves you all your food
Is another tasty dish,
you know you
Can't have a new way of living
Till you're living all the way
on Grand Avenue,
San Francisco
California, USA
A western street with
eastern manors,
tall pagodas and golden banners,
throw their shadows through the
lantern glow.
You can shop for precious jade,
or teakwood tables, or silk brocade,
or see a bold and brassy
nightclub show.
I'm the most exciting
thoroughfare I know
We call it
Grand Avenue, San Francisco,
California, USA
Look s down from Chin atown
over a foggy bay
You travel there in a trolley,
in a trolley, up you climb
Dong Dong, you're in Hong Kong,
having yourself a time
You can eat if you are in the mood
Shark fin soup, bean cake fish
The girl who serves you all your food
Is another tasty dish,
you know you
Can't have a new way of living
Till you're living all the way
on Grand Avenue
Where is that?
San Francisco
Where is that?
